ADSL checker returning strange results for my iline

- the recorded downstream rate for ADSL2+ (which I currently have) has dropped from 17Mbps to 5.5 - 10.5 (my line itself has not changed - still connecting at around 17.5Mbps)

- it now states: This line does not have left in jumpers. - I Googled this and it appears it is linked to LLU or something. My ISP is IDNet and I have voice through TalkTalk

- worryingly it also states: There is currently a Broadband cease pending or in progress against this line. This cease is due to complete by 19th August 2015. This will not stop you ordering Broadband from a new supplier, but it will delay the provision of the new Broadband service.

Re: ADSL checker returning strange results for my iline

I wasn't referring to the service suddenly switching to FTTC, I was thinking maybe there is some copper rearrangement going on (for example, if they were on an EO line and being moved over to a cabinet). I realise it was probably incorrect but like I said, a stab in the dark...

Re: ADSL checker returning strange results for my iline

I thought the worst that the cease has gone through and tried a different router - nothing.

Put original router back on and went to make a cup of tea. Connection then came back about 5 mins later but with vastly reduced sync rate (17.8Mbps > 12.5Mbps down and 1.2Mbps >> 1Mbps up). Line attenuation is the same, but SNR has increased from 3db (that it has been on for about 2 years) to 12db - which would account for the loss of sync rates.

Very odd.

Now on phone to IDNet.

My cabinet has been down for FTTP for years now (from the original leaked spreadsheet) with the tubing to telegraph poles having been installed some years ago. Since then nothing has happened and my cab has remained on ADSL2+ only. Other cabs nearby have FTTC twins.
